The fact that a case of beer, some bottles empty, some full, was found in their car along with a couple of whisker bottles didn't help their case either. They were found guilt by Judge Alonzo Conant and fined a total of $1270 each, The two men were riding on the Mechanic Falls Road with girls when the arrest was made. Officer Valcourt said this morning that he was guiding traffic by firc at the Pe: cock Nursing Home, last night when he saw the respondents' car and motion ed it to proceed slowly over; a line laid across the road.

Fight Pictures Give Different Slant To Louis- Walcott Scrap BY GEORGE F.

CALL The outcome of the Joe Jersey Joe Walcott bout for the world's heavyweight championship, Dec. 5, will probably always be questioned by those who thought, as Louis apparently did when he started to leave the ring immediately after the final round. that the challenger was the winner, but pictures of the battle. now showing at the Ritz Theater will undoubtedly alter to some extent the opinions of those who felt Walcott "wuz robbed." In viewing the film this morning, the writer could see for himself that Joe Louis competes like a champion--whether upright or on the canvas. There is no question but what Louis won if we are to consider that the judges.

gave extra points each round to the champion for aggression when very few, if any points, could rightfully go to Walcott for the same tactics. Walcott Tough There is no question but what Walcott is a rugged, tough scrapper and he was certainly there with the counter -punching. Time and again. he followed Louis' aggressive surges with solid rights to the head. The knockdowns, both scored by the challenger, were resul: of determined counterattacking at times when the Brown Bomber vas really throwing leather.

In the second round, Louis was on his feet immediately, apparently unstunned and undamaged, after a count of two. In the fourth, after catching a solid counterpunch when flailing at Walcott with both hands in one" of the corners, the champ went down. rolled immediately to one knee and then bounced up on the count of seven. It was when he regained his feet, that Louis seemed to be in trouble the only time during the film. He fairly "hung on" for about a minute but strengthened before the bell.

fastest action comes in the seventh round as both men slug it out in the center of the ring in this stanza, as was the case most of the time, Louis was the aggressor, but the harder or the faster he lashed out at the challenger, Walcott retaliated with equal gusto and effectiveness Louis really hammered away at Walcott in the ninth round. Part of action was repeated in slow. motion, revealing Walcott's consistency in counter The on other slow motion shot was in the second round when the knockdown was repeated. Also shown in the film was Walcott's wild miss in the twelfth, round following which he crashed to the canvas in the center of the -ing. Aside from the actual fighting, the picture, which lasts 19 minutes, shows the participants entering the ring, pre-fight announcements, the end of the fight including Louis' attempt at a quick exit, and demonstration of disapproval by Walcott's handlers after the result has been announced.

This is their day of fun and gladness, of peace on earth and good will toward men, particularly in the homes do where children are reared in a knowledge of.

what good Wall means. Gifts delight the hearts of children. They are not particular about the cost them, just so they have the fun of receiving them, opening the packages and being surprised. The surprise is part of the fun. It can be a doll that was expected, a wagon that was hoped for, but the kind color can be a surprise.

There should be, as. there was in the Wise Men's gifts, something of value and something no of pure utilitarian luxury. something that has USe but a spiritual uplifting value like a book, a jewel. a bit of beauty. My favorite among these is a book.

A book can mean so much, can be such a real source of comfort, can be such a friendly bit of belonging that no Christmas stocking should be without it. The toy soon will be worn out. lost or forgotten. its usefulness over very soon. But the book.

once read remains for a lifetime in memory. affecting the thinking and behavior of the child down through the years of his life. One reading of a good book is only the start. Its owner will read it again and again. There will be certain bits of it which he will return again and again for refreshment and entertainment.

That book 's knit into' his being, as no' other thing he owns ever can be. I am thinking, of course, of a good book, not any bit of print. One of the books that has lived through years of reading by generation after generation is what is needed. There is a wide choice and some people find it difficult to select the right book. Some think it should be one that educates the child by teaching him facts.

I do not belong. to that group. Christmas is for fairy tales, imaginative stories, dream tales, heroic, gorgeous "Kidnapped," "Robin Hood," "Treasure Island." Then are beautiful stories like "Little Women," and "Rebecca of Sunnybrook The older group of children can have eny book their elders read, according to their taste. To te acceptable the book must be one the child would choose, not the one the adult thinks would be good for him. This is not lesson Christmas time, when Dicken's, "Christmas Carol" is in order.
